Architecture with Bamboo

The poverty on earth increases and  solutions are needed to defeat it.

One solution could be, to plant more bamboo worldwide.
  • it grows quite fast
  • it is very strong
  • it is cheap
  In total it is an excellent construction material and houses built with it will probably also withstand earthquakes.

Elora Hardy gives a very good presnetation about it on TED

Cameron Sinclair  is also engaged since many years, to design emergency houses, using locally available materials.
